Invertase and sucrose synthase are enzymes that are vital for distributing carbon in various biosynthetic pathways. Karelian birch (<i>Betula pendula</i> var. <i>carelica</i>) is a form of silver birch (<i>B. pendula</i> Roth) and is characterized by disruption of the differentiation of cambium derivatives towards both the xylem and phloem, which leads to a change in the proportion of the conducting tissues' structural elements and the figured wood formation.

Increasing evidence has demonstrated the key function of microRNAs (miRNAs) in OS development and chemoresistance.

Additionally, the influence of miR-605-3p on OS cell growth was analyzed using the cell counting kit-8, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry.

Many studies have demonstrated that IL-6 inhibitors improve disease outcomes and decrease mortality, whereas others have shown that they are ineffective.

Meanwhile, functional roles of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC cells were explored by CCK-8, colony formation, wounding healing, cell apoptosis and western blot assays. RNA-FISH was used to confirm the cellular distribution of hsa_circ_0005939. Bioinformatic prediction and luciferase reporter assay were used to determine the mechanisms of hsa_circ_0005939.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Our results indicated that hsa_circ_0005939 was up-regulated in CRC tissues and cells. Up-regulation of hsa_circ_0005939 was associated with the occurrence and the number of lymph node metastasis of CRC. Hsa_circ_0005939 down-regulation inhibited cell proliferation, increased cell apoptosis and caused G2 phase arrest of CRC cells. Mechanistically, luciferase assay revealed that hsa_circ_0005939 acts as a molecular sponge for miR-4693-3p and then enhanced Ubiquitin Like With PHD And Ring Finger Domains 1 binding protein 1 like (UHRF1BP1L) expression.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings indicated an oncogenic role of hsa_circ_0005939 in CRC, and it enhanced malignant phenotypes of CRC cells through miR-4693-3p/UHRF1BP1L axis. Our study may offer promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CRC.</p>","PeriodicalId":20736,"journal":{"name":"Protein and Peptide Letters","volume":" ","pages":"437-446"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141451368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
